Elasticity: Latex can be compressed in one spot without affecting neighboring areas. This allows it to cradle the body, providing support and relieving stress on pressure points. Derived from the Hevea brasiliensis (rubber plant), Latex is a natural produce that provides a wonderful material for use in mattresses. Latex mattresses are considered one of the most desirable types of mattresses. That’s because they’re hypoallergenic, made from a natural material and luxuriously comfortable. Typically, they are made from pure latex or from a combination of latex with another material. Unlike memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses don’t rely on your body heat to soften and mould to your body’s contours. That makes them ideal if you prefer a cooler sleeping environment. People will want to look at the warranty carefully (as with any mattress), but the thing to be concerned about with latex is the standard for compression/body impressions. This is the most likely issue that will come up with a latex mattress, so people should just be aware of the terms and how they expect the mattress to behave over time.

With a variety of latex mattresses available, it can be hard to choose which one is the best for you. Our collection of Dunlopillo latex is mixed with various spring counts for different softness levels. Your ideal mattress largely depends on which sleep position you primarily use. If you’re a side sleeper, you’ll probably feel most comfortable on a mattress that cushions and contours to your shoulders and hips – two areas of the body prone to pressure buildup when you use this position. The Nolah Natural 11 features two latex layers that adapt to your unique curves, helping to ensure less pressure in these areas while keeping your body on an even plane, followed by a strong coil system that prevents you from sinking too deeply into the mattress. The structure of latex means it is naturally resistant to dust mites. This helps maintain a fresh and healthy sleep environment.

Similar to a memory foam mattress?

Not the best for stomach sleepers –The Nolah Natural, while supportive, is also on the softer side, and especially so for those who like to sleep on their stomach. Average-weight sleepers may find the mattress too plush, while heavier sleepers may sink in too far. What’s more, latex mattresses are pretty bouncy. If you like soft mattresses, then a latex one may be just right for you.

Too firm for some – The Saatva Latex Hybrid is responsive and supportive, but might not cushion as well as typical memory foam options. Lightweight side sleepers especially may find this bed too hard for their needs. If having more eco-friendly products in your mattress is important to you, then natural or organic latex could be a great match. On the flip side, there are synthetic latex options, which blend man-made and natural latex. What the testers say: Stay tuned for our full review of the Plank Firm Natural!

Best for Side Sleepers: Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress

Latex mattresses can be a more eco-friendly option than other bed types, and they appeal to people who want biodegradable and natural (rather than synthetic) products. However, just because a bed is advertised as a latex mattress doesn’t mean it’s automatically meeting an environmental gold standard.

Saatva’s Zenhaven delivers a high-end, reversible design. This all-latex mattress features a medium soft (4) feel on one side and a firm (7) feel on the other, so you’ll most likely find at least one surface comfortable and sufficiently supportive regardless of how much you weigh or which sleep position you prefer. Saatva sweetens the deal with additional perks for shoppers, such as free White Glove delivery and a year-long trial period.ADDA DADA's photography presents a variety of adults at different public events .

Everyone was asked and they consented to be photographed and posted Dunlopillo, the pioneers of latex mattresses, create single-sided latex mattresses so you don't need to flip your latex mattress. And coupled with a few Dunlopillo/Relyon pillows, there’s really nothing better – but it will probably cost you as much as a small car! Th Another significant and exciting feature of natural latex is that it is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould and mildew. Not only can you sleep more soundly than you ever thought possible, you can also relax, knowing that your new mattress won't hamper your precious hours of rest every night.

My Take: The Nolah Natural is a solid choice if you find yourself tossing and turning to get comfortable at night. Not only is it responsive, but it should be cooling and pressure-relieving as well, with certified organic materials throughout its construction. What We Liked This mattress contains responsive latex foam and bouncy coils. If you want a slow-moving mattress, you should consider a memory foam bed.

The combination of responsive latex and coils makes it very easy to move around on this mattress, making it easy to change positions during the night. The firm side may be too firm for side sleeping, though.” – Marten, Lead Reviewer What We Love About The Brooklyn Bedding EcoSleep Latex mattresses are a fantastic option for most people who have the budget and the need for a cooling bed that's supportive and able to offer constant pressure relief from a natural material.
